This Uchiha is really evil

Chapter 4 City of Sin

Uchiha Chiba handed over his patrol duties and silently returned home.

He did not slack off in the slightest.

Even without the system of doing good deeds and accumulating merit, he was still a practitioner within a system, desperately seizing every spare moment to cultivate.

At this moment, although he had something on his mind, he still did not neglect his cultivation.

He silently closed his eyes and practiced the most basic chakra refining technique for all ninjas.

Qianyu gradually regained her composure.

He never regretted what he had done.

It's not just because that was his original belief.

Furthermore, in his view, Konoha Village was inherently sinful.

This is a city of sin.

This original sin does not distinguish between Konoha's high-ranking officials, elite ninjas, or even the most ordinary villagers.

Selfishness, ignorance, greed, arrogance, envy, indifference...

All of these are different.

Living here often makes Chiyu feel an unimaginable sense of oppression.

His way of venting this repression is to carry out justice in his own way.

extreme?

He never considered himself extreme.

To be honest, the extreme one is this village, this ninja world, and definitely not himself.

……

The next day, at the police headquarters.

Fugaku Uchiha was frantically dealing with the mess left behind by Chiba.

Fortunately, the family of three was indeed all together.

They didn't have many relatives or friends left in the world.

Apart from a few neighbors, no one could really complain.

Fugaku sent people to properly bury the couple's bodies.

As for the family fortune...

It had long been squandered by that gambling addict.

Apart from an old house, there's practically nothing left.

Even so, when Fugaku was preparing to deal with the old house, several villagers suddenly jumped out, saying that they were the couple's relatives and friends, and that the couple had left a message before their death that they wanted the old house to be left to them, and so on...

Fugaku was already in a state of agitation and had no interest in dealing with this mess, so he simply handed it all over to the most experienced elder, Uchiha Hachimokuren.

Just as I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, I suddenly sensed the arrival of a powerful chakra.

"Hmm? This chakra is..."

He jumped up and hurried out to greet them personally.

"Lord Hokage."

The newcomer was none other than Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage of Konoha Village.

He smoked a pipe, wore a straw hat symbolizing his Hokage status, and wore his usual kind and gentle smile on his deeply lined, aged face.

Behind him followed four ANBU ninjas wearing strange masks.

"Chief Fugaku, I hope my sudden visit hasn't disturbed your police force's work?"

"Not at all, Hokage-sama, you're always welcome to come."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled, his eyes seemingly casually glancing around.

"Isn't Uchiha Senba here?"

Fugaku knew, of course, who he had come for.

"That bastard went too far. Although I know he meant well for the village and was trying to uphold fairness and justice, he still went too far this time!"

"So I punished him by making him stay at home and reflect on his actions."

"What, is the Hokage here because of this too?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sneered inwardly.

Fugaku laid out the unpleasant truth upfront, and even gave Uchiha Chiba a stern "criticism" that was actually a compliment, clearly trying to shut himself up.

How could an old fox like him not see through such a trick?

"Sigh, I know that man was doing it all for the good of the village, even though his methods were indeed a bit extreme..."

"I didn't want to come originally, but several villagers complained to the Hokage's office. If I didn't show up, the villagers would think I was protecting the Uchiha clan..."

"Actually, whether it's the Uchiha clan or ordinary villagers, I see them all as family. How could I possibly favor one over the other?"

"You agree, don't you, Chief Fugaku?"

Fugaku Uchiha smiled ingratiatingly.

"Of course, Konoha is a big family, and the Hokage is the pillar and the head of the family, so naturally everyone is treated equally."

"I wonder what those villagers said to the Hokage? What were their demands?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his pipe, then exhaled a smoke ring that slowly spread throughout the police headquarters room.

"Actually, many villagers and ninjas have complained about Uchiha Chiba in the past, saying that he was too harsh in enforcing the law and too cruel in his methods. However, I know that he was young and impetuous, and in order to maintain the stability of the village, he was a bit hasty in his methods, so we suppressed them."

"But this time, he really went a bit too far..."

"That couple doesn't deserve to die..."

"What do you think, Chief Fugaku?"

His eyes were lined with wrinkles, and his gaze was filled with a dilemma.

Fugaku sighed deeply, looking disappointed and disappointed.

"The Hokage is right."

"When this happened last night, I was furious. I immediately sent someone to bring him back and gave him a good scolding and a good lesson."

"Even if that gambling addict is beyond redemption, even if he took the child's life-saving money and killed his own son, even if his son died and he still took the family's last savings to gamble, even if he's as beastly as he is, so what?"

"At most, you can arrest him and put him in jail!"

"How could they just kill him outright?!"

"And that woman, even though her husband killed her child, she didn't seek revenge, didn't report it to the police, didn't report it to the Hokage, and even wanted to continue living with him. Even after such a scoundrel died, she still protected him and even tried to assault a police officer. So what?"

"Could she really hurt you?"

"Why did you actually go so far as to kill me?!"

Fugaku looked heartbroken.

"Sigh, even if what you're doing is legal, it's still unreasonable!"

"Isn't that right, Lord Hokage?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression darkened slightly.

But things quickly returned to normal.

"Chief Fugaku, is this really in accordance with the law?"

"That does indeed fit. When the Second Hokage created the police force, he formulated a series of regulations and rules, which did state that if a criminal committed heinous crimes and was utterly depraved, they could be executed on the spot. Of course, it also stated that if a member of the police force was threatened with death, they could certainly retaliate. So..."

"While Chiyu is certainly a bit extreme, it's not accurate to say he broke the law..."

"I can only say that young people are indeed a bit impatient and lack experience, which is why I punished him by sending him home to reflect on his actions."

"Rest assured, Hokage, if he still doesn't repent this time, I will not let him off easily!"

For a moment, the entire police headquarters was silent.

Uchiha Yakumi and the others were also stunned, as it was the first time they had heard their clan leader speak at such a long time.

but……

Who is Hiruzen Sarutobi?

Fugaku could have said this kind of high-sounding, seemingly critical but actually praising nonsense decades ago.

However, if the other party says something that is almost shameless, then if you want to continue arguing, the only way is to completely break off relations.

Hiruzen Sarutobi has no intention of doing that for the time being.

He smiled kindly and benevolently.

"Since Chief Fugaku has said so, I am relieved. I trust you will handle this matter impartially."

"Then I won't bother you any longer."

Fugaku hurriedly said, "Hold on, Hokage."

Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi's retreating figure, Fugaku, who seemed to have won the battle, was shrouded in gloom.

……

"Lord Hokage, that Fugaku Uchiha is clearly just making excuses!"

"You think you can absolve Uchiha Chiba of his guilt with just a few words?!"

Several members of the secret service were filled with righteous indignation.

Hiruzen Sarutobi merely scoffed dismissively.

"I've already seen through all those tricks he uses."

"It's just that I don't want to completely break ties with the Uchiha clan yet."

"Uchiha Fugaku, do you think you can shut me up like this?"

"That's incredibly naive..."

"What does the Hokage mean...?"

"Hmph, someone will naturally teach that Uchiha Chiba a lesson, and that person..."

"They are members of their own Uchiha clan."
